Our Mission

To provide timely financial support to families caring for children in medical crisis, when they need it most.

Jennifer Ashleigh Children's Charity works closely with hospitals and rehabilitative centres across Ontario to identify, screen and support families whose lives have been turned upside down following a critical medical event that has occurred with their child. For families with modest incomes and no cash reserves, managing the many hidden costs associated with a lengthy hospital stay, can be crippling. From the unexpected medical expenses not covered by OHIP, to the costs of transportation, accommodations, and basic daily needs, our charity helps bridge the gap, giving parents the breathing room they need to focus on what truly matters, their child.

We offer timely financial relief to give parents much needed breathing room so they can focus on their child.

We carefully review and screen each application with the utmost respect and dignity, ensuring all families, regardless of composition, race, religion, or background, receive fair and equitable consideration.

We rely on the generosity of individual donors, as well as corporate, foundation, and community partners.  These relationships are critical to our fundraising efforts as we receive no Government or United Way funding.
